I?ve been watching the Albion since the 60?s and I?ve never seen anything as bad as this, the lack of effort, basic football skills is embarrassing

I honestly do not think that it is lack of effort but a lack of any real quality all round. There is not one aspect of our game that has any quality. In defence we are all over the place, lacking control and creativity in midfield and up front, well, nothing. Let’s be perfectly honest, under Mason we were much better than this and surely Ramsay must shoulder the blame. As I have said before, under Mason we were always in games but under Ramsay that is not the case. If we want to survive we have to bite the bullet and get rid of him.

I can see some desire from the likes of Styles, Molumby and Wallace but over all really disappointing to see such a lack of energy in the team given the importance of this game.

Defensively, we aren't at it and, however great Rudoni's strike was, the defence should never have stood off him and allowed him that much time/space. Going forward, when we do get a rare break (as in the last movement of the first half) it seems that no-one has the confidence to want to take a shot when the opportunities do present themselves.

What reaction will Ramsay and this bunch show now?

Better start to this second half but changes needed up front sooner rather than later. Johnston, Maja and Dike now on for Aloba, Wallace and Heggabo. I'd have been tempted to bring Bostock on to play wide on the other wing to Mikey rather than play both Dike and Maja.

It was not so much that we played much better but Coventry treated the second half like a knock about training session.

Ramsay got to go!

How he can start Wallace over Johnston defies belief and if Johnston has a slight injury - start him and bring him off. Not over impressed with Aloba either!

Worst two players in my opinion are Mowatt and Molumby - no talent - slow and zero creativity!

It's true that the players seemed to want to play for Mason and it's true that we were also better in many of those performances under him than we have been under Ramsay -but does anyone on here really believe that Mason could have turned this lot around and start winning games?

Compared with Coventry, we certainly lack their quality across the pitch -especially so in our attacking movement-but certainly agree with you that this lot can play better. Some of this is selection (Campbell is better than Gilchrist as Johnston is better than Wallace), some of it is lack of confidence and energy/ desire and some of it is simple lack of quality (e.g. our lack of a decent creative midfielder and natural goal scorer). Ramsay can't do much about the last, but he can the first two.

I certainly didn't expect a win today but I did expect more fight, far tighter defending and more attacking intent. We were fortunate that a late goal prevented Leicester from getting all 3 points today and sending us down into the bottom 3 but we are only 1 point above the drop zone. Charlton and Oxford have to be must win games now.

So much for my sneaky feeling! I blame the wine!

I am confident, though, that we will win the next two…….

With Charlton and Oxford getting great points today I can honestly see them beating us if Ramsay is around. Oxford have to beat us and they will fight but we do not know the meaning of that word!
